Let's see if I got this right: You have one server where some file is generated, and another one where said file is to be downloaded from. Is this file personalized for each user, i.e. must arguments be passed from front- to backend? If it's not personalized, can or should the file be cached on the frontend for period of time? If the generation of the file is "complex", can it be produced on demand or do we have to implement some kind of waiting mechanism that keeps the user's browser connected to the frontend while the file is generated?
